Horsing Around #12

We switched to a shared one hour semi-private lesson but unfortunately Jenny wasn't feeling well today and missed the class. I got to try cantering. Very scary! I swear I was close to falling off a few times. I was riding Mulberry, the lazy insolent horse, and she's particularly bouncy and harder to control than the others. She also bucked a couple of times! The canter is a bit tricky to get into and trying to stay on during the canter feels like riding in a rodeo. Obviously this is going to take work.
